Yesterday evening we had orders to wrap our blankets in our oil sheets ready for transport. This left us with our great coats only to sleep in, but the weather is mild now. Last night we were not at all uncomfortable
All preparations for departure were made yesterday. The pontoon waggons were loaded. Also the tool carts and limbers. Cooks gear and quartermaster stores as far as possible were packed and put aboard, and everything made ready for this early start.
There is no time lost this morning.
We are now on the parade ground.
Formalities of the parade are rapidly through. The Sergeants prove their sections.
